STANFIELD family, William & Sarah, Littleton 1878

[ponygirl]

Hi, I'm searching for descendents of my Grandfather named John James Stanfield, born to William and Sarah in Littleton, Wiltshire 1877 (1891 Census).  His siblings names were: Elsie, Ethelbert, Isola and Rose.  He married Emma Baxter in Ipswich, Suffolk in 1907 and died in Lowestoft in 1943 at age 66.  Does anyone know of any Stanfield descendents still living in the Wiltshire area?  Can't find any in Suffolk.  Thanks.

Hi ponygirl

Using the website http://www.192.com/ and entering the surname and county of Wiltshire deos give you a few Stanfield's.

But with John having 3 sisters of course your ancestors from those won't be called Stanfield! Have you used the website http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ to try and work out who the girls married and try and find ancestors from them that way.

There is also www.GenesReunited.co.uk that you can try for others researching the same surname as you.There is someone on there called Joanne(not you is it?) who seems to be tracing the same Stanfield family from Devizes Wiltshire.

Good luck

Carol

Thanks, Carol and Brionne, for your responses.   I'll try doing some more digging and will certainly try the GenesReunited website, what a coincidence.  Thanks again.
